I didn't realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that's fucking glorious

[-] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 162 points 1 month ago

Fyi: here’s the unaltered image

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 106 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This pic is cropped so you can't see the empty lawn just passed the people by the fence they couldn't see over.

Edit - Here is newsweeks slightly less cropped version and all the empty space is clearly visible.

Edit 2 - Here is a NYT photo that really shows how few people really showed up.

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago

Lmao that NYT photo, is this a federal parade or local band night at the city park?

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Local cover band even.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

I’ve seen neater lines from middle school marching bands. What the actual fuck.

[-] Bristingr@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

It was the Army's way of protesting this shit too.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah they were just kinda shuffling along.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Who's he saluting? You didn't serve donny, now sit down

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

Like it or not, he is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Literally the highest ranking officer in the military.

Zoom in for details, its funny (and photoshopped)

[-] Soulg@ani.social 48 points 1 month ago

Well now I see it, oh well I'll leave the comment up to be mocked

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago

No mockery needed, it's still very valid

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 13 points 1 month ago

Even so, he's known for waving to invisible crowds. Wasn't there footage of him doing it when leaving court last year before E-Day?

[-] slevinkelevra@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

I wonder, are the empty seats photoshopped though?

Did you completely miss Bernie photoshopped in?

[-] Sho@lemmy.world 55 points 1 month ago

I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Bernie was there!?!? See him there? In the front row? He may be hard to spot. He looks grumpy in this totally real and unedited photo.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 76 points 1 month ago

What a fucking loser.

[-] raltoid@lemmy.world 69 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This comment section is perfect proof that most people literally don't read news, and have the memory and attention span of a golden retirever puppy.

The wind of the collective whoooosh from people missing the joke could be a new major source of renewable energy.

[-] Entertainmeonly 7 points 1 month ago

Love how MTG points out how bad democrats are by pointing out DT had two assassination attempts. Fails to mention both were by registered and very openly loud repubs.

This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 55 points 1 month ago

Pathetic.

Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don't give a flying fuck about drumpf's lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it's literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead. Niiice

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 month ago

Old military equipment is part of any parade though, the tank in the photo is a ww2 Sherman.

[-] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 month ago

Bro, the protest in fucking wichita had ~5k

That is saaad

Doesn't matter. Hell just lie and say 800 million people attended.

[-] caboose2006@lemm.ee 32 points 1 month ago

All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it's 250k

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 15 points 1 month ago

My opinion of SBS sunk further when they put 'huge' in the title of their article about it.

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

To spell it out for y'all, it's a joke number.

86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.

47 is the trump president number.

[-] Entertainmeonly 9 points 1 month ago

Thank you. I am one of those thick individuals that did not see the code hahaha.

Is that for people in the parade? Or forced to watch it in person?

[-] scott@lemmy.org 78 points 1 month ago

OK I had to look it up but the joke is "86" as in "get rid of" and 47, that is, Trump

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 30 points 1 month ago

Aaaahhh, I totally missed that. The comma threw me off thinking it was a real number.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 14 points 1 month ago

Didn't some Fox blithering idiots interpret that as a death threat or something a few weeks ago?

[-] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 11 points 1 month ago

Everything is a threat to them. They want to be victims sooooo bad.

They advertised for seat fillers, so a lot of those people were literally paid to be there.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago

More likely they were promised payment, but have yet to collect.

IF that’s the same thing I’m thinking of, that was a satire piece. BUT it’s possible there was something else I didn’t see after that.

Well never get the real numbers. Im sure at least half weren't there willingly.

[-] solsangraal@piefed.zip 17 points 1 month ago

i expected more gullible shitlipped cult sheeple

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

It's worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.

Q: Is that a WWII tank?

A: Sure, man.

Q: Cool, what kind of tank is it?

A: Sure, man.

Q: Um, I'm just trying to find out what kind of tank it is.

A: And I'm telling you. Sure, man.

I told my partner, and she asked "Does that include the band?"
